Among all of the upcoming games shown at the 2024 Xbox Showcase, one of the biggest standouts was inarguably Sandfall Interactive's Clair Obscur Expedition 33. While stunning in its Belle Époque France aesthetic, fans have specifically highlighted its turn-based gameplay, something that's evidently been sorely missed within the community.
The trailer for Clair Obscur Expedition 33 introduces us to a tragically beautiful and fascinating world that's perpetually trapped in a cycle of death by a mysterious entity known as the Paintress. As the world counts down further to Year 33, a squad known as Expedition 33, led by Gustav, is tasked with destroying the Paintress so that she never reawakens to erase another year of humanity from existence.
